An opportunity to help your fellow Berwickshire residents, who might be elderly or disabled, improve their lives by driving them in specially adapted vehicles to health appointments, shopping or social opportunities in the local area.

Berwickshire Wheels is an important service in our community. It fits both the people using the service and those providing it.
